Increase Productivity, Improve Versatility, Create Solutions
Utilizing mechanical cleats and guides provides many benefits and solves specific
problems. For example, mechanical cleats can allow you to increase the incline of
your conveyor, prevent material rollback, increase running speed, or provide a
special sorting solution. And unlike chemical and heat welded cleats, mechanical
cleats can be installed directly on the conveyor using simple hand tools (screw
driver, belt punch). In addition, expensive equipment is not needed and there are
no ‘shelf life’ concerns with chemicals.
Simple and Versatile Problem Solvers
In addition to being easy to install, mechanical cleats and guides offer other benefits, such as:
Missing, worn, or broken cleats can easily
· Low Maintenance: cleated belts, helping to eliminate costly be
replaced on existing
·
·
conveyor downtime.
Versatile: Modify existing belts by changing spacing or placement of
cleats to meet your specific requirements. Apply to any type of belt
(PVC, rubber, urethane, even chain or plastic link belts) for improved
operating efficiency.
Unique: Mechanical cleats come in a variety of styles to fit your
specific conveyor needs. For example, pegs and lugs provide a unique
solution when a full belt width cleat is not required, such as if the
material being conveyed has liquid that needs to run off or if
specialized sorting is desired.
